Yes.

You can get the same effect as your commented-out code by using
`rename-super' (in v299, just `rename' in v20x):

 (define b-mixin
   (mixin (thing<%>) (thing<%>)
     (rename-super [super-the-call the-call])
     (define/public (call-this) (lambda () (super-the-call)))
     (super-new (stuff "inside"))))
